And does "neon" glow?

Question

“Neon’s” Glow

They approach, drawn to neon’s glow

marveling at the light, the colors,

the intensity.

Curiosity causes a hand to reach

to touch the light, the glow,

candied fruit one must have.

And just like that it is broken.

The light, the glow, the colors gone

just shattered glass, buzzing, broken.

The hand retreats from cookie jar

quickly moving, escaping.

Neon man is called, restores the glow

gives light once again, illuminates.

How easy glass can be repaired by hands.

How sadly lives cant…

Answer 1

being who i am, i am drawn to warm glowing things...i loved loved loved this poem. and heres my thought...if lives could be repaired by hands, then poetry may never be written. thank you  for your words!

Answer 2

Thinking, thinking, huh. I think on Las Va/gas.

and question, some life's can be repaired, not all but some.

and not always easily done, yet they can be.

"The healing touch"

Answer 3

Yes, Neon and Neonman glows daily.  A bright good morning to you.

Answer 4

Once again you have brought forth light!

Answer 5

AWW I LOVE IT! I told you before in a private email that Neonman is a perfect name for you, and you proved it 100% with this poem.

It`s ironic how your business, your name, and poetry all have light! You are blessed. Do you know it?

Thanks for illuminating Y!A poetry section.

Answer 6

Cannot hold a candle to you Neonman, most Illuminating.

My compliments.

Answer 7

i am humble enough to say i need help and my help seems to come with a slap in the face but i am confident in my Lord is the saviour....so if you will just follow in my next prayer we can have some fun that so many people seem to want to have at others expense

Answer 8

"Hi!",

You certainly do honey! : )

'Oh, the poem, 'yes!' : )

yeah, so true, beautiful poem expressed well. I wished at times I could bring loved ones back and never say goodbye. It is sad that life is so short lived. If it isn't the mortal body that dies, It's the soul(emotion within one self) from sadness, grief and portrayal.

you did a good job on this poem.

WELL DONE!

Cheers : )

Answer 9

You give light daily in your poetry. One suggestion, perhaps you would consider changing the last word to "cannot."

Answer 10

I really like this. I am also with E P regarding the last line.

Answer 11

That was a great poem Neon! The ending is just brilliant. And I agree with Elaine's suggestion. 'cannot' will give a soft ending than 'can't'.

Answer 12

As always a wonderful piece,Neon.  I agree with those suggesting cannot as the last word.  Cant, at least as I understand it, is  "the characteristic or secret language of a particular group"*  from the Latin word "cantus"  to sing.

*from "the Online Dictionary"

Answer 13

My immediate impression...Cannot.

Otherwise, excellent.
